From 688c29533ffc969773bc860d07d3a5f1995f5878 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dong Jia Shi Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2017 04:38:21 +0200 Subject: vfio: ccw: bypass bad idaw address when fetching IDAL ccws We currently return the same error code (-EFAULT) to indicate two different error cases: 1. a bug in vfio-ccw implementation has been found. 2. a buggy channel program has been detected. This brings difficulty for userland program (specifically Qemu) to handle. Let's use -EFAULT to only indicate the first case. For the second case, we simply hand over the ccws to lower level for further handling. Notice: Once a bad idaw address is detected, the current behavior is to suppress the ssch. With this fix, the channel program will be accepted, and part of the channel program (the part ahead of the bad idaw) could possibly be executed by the device before I/O conclusion.
